A trusted certification program for cannabis and hemp education
is critical to advancing the progress of cannabis and hemp, as these
beneficial plants and the industries surrounding them move into
the mainstream of society. The Cannabis Hemp Academy certification
program combines the most qualified instructors with a broad curriculum,
which guarantees that a CHA-certified cannabis professional has
obtained a well-rounded, robust and reliable education in the growing
disciplines of cannabis or hemp.

Benefits of Certification
A certification proves that the job candidate or entrepreneur is
serious about their cannabis education. The Cannabis Hemp Academy
cannabis and hemp certification programs are designed for anyone
that is looking for employment in a medical marijuana, recreational
marijuana, cannabis or hemp trade and wants to stand out in the
competitive job market. The certification programs are also designed
to complement those that have an existing professional certification
in another field, like health care, real estate or construction.
Adding a medicinal cannabis specialty to an existing profession
is an excellent way to develop a new niche market, gain more publicity,
and get more clients.

Cannabis Hemp Academy Curriculum and Instructors
The medical marijuana training curriculum was developed partially
by the Cannabis Therapy Institute, a Colorado organization that
has been a leader in medicinal cannabis education and advocacy since
2009. Instructors include Deanna Gabriel, Certified Clinical Herbalist,
Clinical Nutritionist; Dr. Robert Melamede, Cannabis Science, Inc.
and Robert J. Corry, Jr., Colorado medical marijuana attorney. Instructors
are all independently-contracted to teach courses in their specialty.

Cannabis Hemp Academy History
The Cannabis Hemp Academy had its beginnings in Colorado in 1992.
Under an educational program titled "Hemp Awareness 101",
CHA-founders offered general public education courses on cannabis,
hemp and medical marijuana through various student groups at the
University of Colorado campus. In 2009, with the increase in interest
in medical marijuana and industrial hemp in Colorado, the Cannabis
Hemp Academy expanded its course offerings and began a certification
program in cannabis and hemp through live classes. In 2014, the
CHA launched its online school to make our certification programs
available to a nationwide and international audience.

Excellence in Education
Other marijuana colleges, hemp schools or cannabis training institutes
focus on a narrow range of educational offerings. The Cannabis Hemp
Academy uses our over 24 years of cannabis and hemp educational
experience to assemble the world's best cannabis and hemp experts
to provide a broad curriculum with offerings that are guaranteed
to appeal to anyone interested in cannabis, industrial hemp, or
medical marijuana.
